Very nearly related to B. Griffithiana and with similar stipules which are 

 however smaller (only "5 in. across) and hirsute ; the leaves are also persistently 

 pubescent and the corymbs are few-fld., the flowers are long-pedicelled (the pedicels 

 1'25-1*5 in. long), the calyx and petals rose-red.

A slender shrubby climber, tendrils circinate glabrous. Leaves rigidly subcoria- 

 ceous, cordate, 2'5-4 in. long, lobes subacute, glabrous above, persistently puberulous 

 to pubescent beneath ; stipules persistent rather large. Flowers in terminal corymbs, 

 3-4 in. long, lax-fld., pedicels 1"5-1*75 in. long ; bracts lanceolate deciduous. Calyx-

 subacute clawed. Stamens 3. Ovary sparsely puberulous, style long slender glab-
